She's always there when I need her. She'll lend me a sympathetic ear, even for the pettiest of problems. She knows just what to say to make me smile. She's the greatest friend I could ever ask for. So why do I still feel so lonely?

**A rewrite** After helping the new student with his things after getting jumped by bullies, Fluttershy finds herself quite smitten. And the feeling might be mutual. One small act of kindness can change someone's entire life... no matter how damaged.

When Coppermane and Fluttershy go on their one-year anniversary date at the town's new karaoke diner, Coppermane gets an idea to show Fluttershy how much he truly loves her, and express just how much she's changed his life.

Coppermane's thrilled to attend Camp Everfree with his friends, & Fluttershy's excited to be out in nature with her prince. Though, while there, the couple may encounter the biggest obstacle of their relationship yet.

Fluttershy is curious as to why her boyfriend has become so distant lately. But when she asks him about it, she discovers how haunted he still is by his past... and one event in particular that might be the seed of his fear.

Seeing Fluttershy so happy with her boyfriend has given Sunset something to long for, but how can anyone love her after everything she's done? Her luck starts changing, however, when a new student comes to Canterlot High.

Coppermane loves and admires Fluttershy in every way, but when he thinks about what she's accomplished over time, he can't help but feel insecure in comparison. He has a talk with his princess and asks why she settled for someone so inferior to her.

Nightmares have been plaguing you for the last three months. Each one has ended the same way, with you going to sleep in the orphanage you lived in back on earth, and waking up back in the Castle you now called home.

Your OC is thrust into the hooves of various ponies and snuggled. And as he finds himself brought to the attention of other snuggle-happy ponies and pushed into politics, he must ask himself what he truly values. Now with 90% useless fluff!

Scootaloo feels insecure when Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are asked out to the school dance, and she's not. As she walks home alone from the dance, she can't help but ponder something she barely ever wonders about. Is she pretty? At all?

Rainbow Dash is strong, funny, sassy, awesome, & cute. It's no wonder you have a bit of a crush on her. One day you spot her sitting alone in a tree, & she doesn't sound happy. Maybe you can find out what's wrong? Maybe you can make her feel better?

Twilight has been asking Sunset for assistance with experiments quite a bit as of late. As time goes by, Sunset starts to question whether these experiments were purely for scientific purposes... or something deeper?

Your best friend, and crush, Applejack invites you to join her & her family to go with them to the Apple Family Reunion. Can you keep your feelings to yourself? Or... maybe you shouldn't. Maybe it's finally time to admit your true feelings.

On a really bad school day, the last thing you want is a partner project. Unfortunately, that's exactly what you get, & you barely know the girl you got partnered with. But could this girl be exactly what you need to start feeling better?

You spot Rarity, your dreamgirl, falling into a puddle in the pouring rain, and offer her a hand. Little do you know how far a little act of kindness can go, and how such a small deed can yield amazing results.

Sunset Shimmer. Is there a more perfect creature in existence? You'd give anything for the confidence to ask her out. You've decided that today is the day. Today you will get over your nerves & talk to her. Just a compliment. How hard could that be?

You've been pushed past the breaking point. You're done. You can't go on like this anymore. Nobody cares. Nobody spares a glance. You're just a burden to everyone around you. That's all you are. Nothing. A mistake. An alien. An outcast. Invisible.

How could anyone love a colt as worthless as you?

But suddenly... there's a light... coming from the most unlikely source imaginable... and it's aimed at you...

Oh my gosh. No, this isn't Rarity anymore. I had to stop reading for a moment because I was so overwhelmed. Nordryd... I don't know what to say. This is so sweet! It's not terrible at all; it came from the heart. All those things Pinkie said... it was what I once said, wasn't it? That doesn't make it any less true, though.

Thank you so much for dedicating this story to me. It means a lot, you know that? I'm very sorry those feelings aren't going away, I just hoped I helped a little. This is amazing. I don't need another story at all.

Noryryd, this is an extremely good story. I could tell it was written from the heart and it really spoke to me. I have felt this same way many, many times in my life about the very same subjects. I have to tell you but I'm sure you already know, that it really does help to have a friend to talk to. It may not change the situation but it can help ease your mind. Sometimes it just helps to get it out of your system.

Thank you for helping me see that again. I had just about given up talking to anyone about my problems for many of the same reasons Jake stated in this story. It is not our life circumstances but whether we are happy that matters most. You've inspired me to go and talk to someone about what has been troubling me all these years. Thank you and good luck. I'm happy you were here.

This was well written the feelings seem authentic and i know rock bottom when i was depressed i had never felt so dead on the inside in my whole life i didnt wanna live i just feelt this empty void nothing mattered noone cared

This hits home pretty damn hard. Sometimes I wonder if I'd still be alive today if not for that voice that tells me I'm better than that, or that feeling of living just to spite everything that brought me down.

“I just want to know what it’s like to have a mare to love. A mare all to myself, y’know? Give her gifts… cuddle with her… tell her how beautiful she is… shower her with affection for no other reason but to let her know how much I love her… there’s just this void inside me that can’t be filled in any other way, y’know? But nopony will ever want me. Nopony will ever want such a reject."

7434688 This was a story sparked from my depression, and written to thank my friend (the one this is dedicated to) for everything she's done for me.

As far as relationships go, I've never had one. It's one of my biggest insecurities. I was probably the biggest reject in high school. It really dawned on me when I asked my crush out to homecoming and she said no. That was rough.

The protagonist in this story... his life was mine in high school, minus that friend who gave me a spark of hope.

It's a little too wordy in my opinion. It would've been more impactful for me if he had just sighed and tried to walk out rather than explaining. Pinkie would then force it out of him whether he wanted to talk or not.

Maybe I'm just projecting myself in there too hard. I never was a talker.

7434737 Dude, you're not alone. I was the biggest reject at Highschool as well, even named the biggest creep in Highschool. I even have a pillow like this pony does, it has an anime girl on it and I do the same that was said in the story. I tried getting over it with wearing a long wool coat that always made me feel comfortable, but the students started rumors. They said I was going to shoot everyone. I didn't do anything to spark these rumors, they did it because of my coat and me being a reject and a local target. After the rumors were put aside, the school made me get rid of my coat, the only thing that made me feel comfy and special. For the rest of my years at school, everybody looked at me the same way this pony was. But then I found the Brony community and it helped me feel happiness. I still feel lonely to this day, but you should know that you are not alone, and that us Bronies should stick together. Love and tolerate man, love and tolerate.

I hope your luck picks up, soon. You never know: My first girlfriend (at least, the first one that lasted more than 5 days with me) became my wife after three years. Sometimes these things suddenly go fast.

I-I can relate to this story. I have depression, anxiety, and, well, I'm also lonely daily. I have a least, two friends who I suppose would maybe understand but I don't see that much. The Brony fandom is the only thing keeping me from suicide or insanity. I'm sorry to waste your time reading this comment.

I related to this a bit too closely the only thing is I don't have a special friend to talk to. it's just me and its always been like that.I'm a social reject and I've been alone for 19 years, I've never had a girlfriend or even gone on a date. I've never had a good friend and all the friends I've made have left or outright told me I was a fucking leech or a burden. I do the same, I hold a pillow close at night and sometimes I kiss it too but since I've grown up a little I've come to terms that there is no one for me and somehow that's helping. I'm not as lonely but the sting of an empty bed can sometimes overwhelm me to the point of break down and my only solace in this time is fanfics and music but great fic man.

7434737At least you had the balls to ask someone to prom. I never even tried to ask a girl to prom. By then, I'd just accepted the fact that no girl would ever want me. I'm so paranoid, I can't help but wonder if the people I call my friends just tolerate me when I'm around, and then talk about how they really view me when I'm gone. You're a better man than I, dude.
